What Became of II.
ST. LOUIS, October 1l.-It has beer
ascertained here that John T. Owens, the
man mentioned in a dispatch from Little
Rock as probably being concerned in re-
cent robbery of the Pacific Express, on the
Iron Mountain Railway, between Little
Rock and Texarkana, has been arrested
and is now in the Pinkerton ''sweat-b0x'
in Chicago.
1t is also stated that he has confessed tC
have taken the money, but that he does
not know what has become of it, and that
he was drunk CT crazy when the act was
committed.
The story as related here is identical
with that received from Little Rock last
night with the addition that Messenger
Owens left this city week ago yesterday
with some $50, OOO in his safe. The money
is said 10 have been in three or four pack
ages. consigned from this city to persons
residing in Texas, hut the names OF the
cOnSigDees art not obtainable.
Owens was captured in Illinois aud taken
10 Chicago. There are several theories, as
is usual in such cases, the chief one being
that Owens was made drunk by other par
ties and then robbed. He has been in the
service several years and was fully husted
by the company. He has resided here fol
long time and has a wife and children.
His wife said last night that she had
heard of her husbands arrest IN Chicago
and that she expected him to be brought
here by Piukerton's detectives tonight or
tomorrow.
No other arrests have been made vet,
but the detectives are said TO believe thai
somebody besides Owens was concerned II
the robbery, and that they expect to cap
tuTe him in good time. Officials OF the
express company are now in Chicago IN

WINNIPEG, October 1.-THE Red River
RailrOad scheme has practically fallen

the necessary funds were not forthcoming.
1t is possible, however, that the plans

that the Canadian Pacific will be unable

1t is claimed that the recent reductions
in the rates announced by the Canadian
Pacific officials between Manitoba ports
and Port Arthur are neutrahzed by ln-
creased rates from Port Arthur eastward.
Every effort will be made BY the settlers
to secure the completion Of the new rail-
road.
The local government refuse to divulge
their plans, bat it is generally believed that
they will appeal to the people or will at

ton cabinet is talked Of by a certain section
Of the pres. Taking all in all, however, the
outlook for Manitoba at present Is not re-

BosTON, October 1.-THE Am1icdH
Wool Reporter in its next issue will say
The recent decreased imports Of woods
affords the best possible answer TO the re-
cent widely-published sensational article
originating in Western paper, alleging
that the present depression in the wool
market is due TO gigantic ring among
Eastern manufacturers and New York and
Boston Custom House officials, who have
by undervaluaticn passcd millions OF
pounds OF wool through the ports and have
loaded the market with il.
ut appears that the imports Of foreign
woods for the eight months ending August
3lst, in all ports OF the United States,
were but G6, 276, s74 pounds, against s5,
337, 435 pounds for the corresponding
period Of 1856. As for the secured wool,
which this journal alleged was imported
as waste at Ten cents duty, when IL
should have been dutiable at 30 cents, the
fact is the difficulty lay in the worng
classification; The article which caused
the trouble was technically known as
ring waste, and the custom house officials
were deceived by the name and admitted
it under the l0-cent rate as waste until
the attention Of the Treasury Department
was called TO the matter, since which
time il has been clsssed a. secured wool
dutiable at 30 cents per pound.
The manufacturers OF New England
and Pennsylvania, whom the Western
paper sssails, werJ mainly instrumental in
securing the change in classification OF
ring waste" I"
